As the population of the majestic animals increases in Gir forests in Gujarat, there is a plan to relocate some to Kuno in Madhya Pradesh. Will the relocation be as successful as those of cheetahs from Africa?
The lions from the Gir National Park in Gujarat are famous for not finding sanctuary in any other state. In 2013, the Supreme Court had ordered the shifting of some lions from Gujarat to the Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary in the neighbouring state of Madhya Pradesh.
